One of the features I decided to build GGGB around was visual character customization. The layered images system that Ren'py uses was perfect to add a lot of cosmetic elements over the characters, and tattoos were a no-brainer, since they are literally images you layer on your skin.
Sadly, I suck when it comes to des...

Hi everyone! The Alpha for Chapter 8 has been out for a few days now, but work on the update is still underway.
The Alpha for Chapter 8 is finally here. Sorry for the silence this week, I wanted to post some sneak peeks and stuff but I have been 100% focused on finishing everything and I did, at the last minute, as always! I must confess I have mixed feeling about this update, it took longer than expected despite me working re...

As I said last time, this'll be the last status report before the release of the Alpha version of Chapter 8. My goal is to release it by the end of the week, probably Saturday, if everything goes as planned.
It's been a while since the last sneak peek for Chapter 8. In it I showed the sketch for this new background that will appear in this next update.
I asked you to guess who's room this was, and most answers were wrong! Now that the illustration is finished, can you make a better guess? I'm sure you can ;) 2021-05-12 15:21:42 +0000 UTC View Post
I think this will be the penultimate status report before Chapter's 8 release.
The final element I think is making the production of the game is how I try to mix the writing with the gameplay. This is a Visual Novel and I try to make it as interactive as I can manage, and often times that means that I end up biting almost more than I can chew, pushing my limits update after update.

Hi everybody. I'm trying to make progress on chapter 8 as fast as possible, so I'll summarize briefly:
One of the main things that have been making ORS’ progress slower has been the need to plan things out. With GGGB this issue wasn’t too important: my approach to writing and making VN’s has always been pretty organic, and I don’t have a set plan or structure of how things need to progress, only a base idea and a rough gu...

Recently I announced Chapter 8 was taking longer than I had originally expected. I’ve been thinking about the reasons and I decided to share those thoughts with you guys, to keep you informed and to give you something somewhat interesting to read while you wait for Chapter 8’s release.
The main and obvious reason thatâ...

I never really keep track of these kind of things, but this time I realized it just before the day came: turns out today is the 4th anniversary of me starting this Patreon page.

Hi everyone,
I know last week I missed the weekly status report, but I didn't have much to report: during these two weeks I've been hacking away at the writing, which is proving to be pretty challenging. This chapter is titled "Falling into place" rather fittingly, since there are a lot of moving pieces from chapter 7 and ...

Choosing to go with the double protagonist gimmick in ORS was a bold and risky choice but I felt this is what I really wanted to do coming from GGGB's sole female main character.
Having both male and female POV for the leads has ...

If you've given Minerva enough reasons to, she will be sporting a new office attire in this new chapter. She's finally done away with that stupid scarf. I hated drawing it almost as much as Ian hates seeing it, though it provided him a convenient way to shut Minerva up, if you know what I mean ;)
What do you think of this...
Hi everybody. This week I don't have much to report since I've been dealing with the writing. I'm slowly going through the scenes and plotting how the pieces fir together. It's taking a bit more time to figure everything out and I'm going over some parts several times to make sure it's not too boring or repetitive or that I'm no...

Hi guys, work continues with Chapter 8 as planned. Last week I finished most of the illustrations and I've started writing the code.
I have a rough outline of the plot, one that I've gone over a few times now, since there are a lot of pieces I have to fit in a way that makes sense, and I want to advance the central plot po...

This is the last post showcasing the process behind Chapter's 7 illustrations. I've picked some of my favourite scenes and the ones to which I devoted some special care, Lena and Ian's scene being one of them.

During this week I've been mainly focusing on finishing as many drawings as possible.
Cindy's scene was probably the most awaited and hyped one, but I knew Holly's first scene had to be something special, too. I had been waiting 6 chapters to finally draw her (although she had a mini scene in chapter 6), but that meant I was not used to drawing this character. And I HATE drawing glasses!
Holly has quite a d...

Second week of development on Chapter 8 is in the books.
This scene was one that I had in mind even before starting to work on Chapter 1. As I was finishing GGGB I began writing some ideas in a notebook under the title "Red String Project", defining what kind of character types and dynamics I wanted to include. And Ivy luring Lena, Louise and Jeremy into a heated drinking game was one...
